To maintain the appearance of this tap, ensure that it is regularly cleaned only using a clean, soft damp cloth. A solution of warm water and
a mild liquid detergent may be used where necessary, and then the fitting rinsed thoroughly and wiped dry. Any other cleaning action will
invalidate your warranty.

including chlorinated solvents, ketones or acetones as these may result in surface deterioration or etching). Also avoid contact with any
harsh household chemicals such as oven cleaners, drain cleaners, rust removers, paint strippers, bar keepers friend or Brasso.
Where the tap has a removable aerator on the spout exit it can be removed and cleaned periodically to maintain optimum flow performance.
Important Technical Data:
Min / Max operating pressure: 0.3 / 5.5 bar* Recommended / Maximum hot water temperature: 46 / 70°C*
Tap hole size and centres: ∅35mm
Flow characteristics: Dual flow
*If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result. In these
instances a thermostatic mixing or pressure reducing valve should be installed.
This product is either WRAS approved or manufactured in accordance with recognised European standards. Please ensure that your
Kitchen mixer is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold water mix within the mixertap single flow), then suitable
non-return check) valves should be installed to the hot and cold supplies to prevent backflow can be factory fitted – see parts list).
Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for best results. Supply pipes should maintain the maximum
diameter until immediately before the fitting. Always use the tail pipes provided. The differential between the hot and cold water supply
temperatures should be sufficient to allow correct mixing function.
These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you must exercise due care at all times. We do not accept
responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst assembling the tap take care not to accidentally loosen any
factory fixed assemblies.
This tap has been 100% assembly tested; therefore you may expect a small residual amount of water to remain in the tap when delivered.
Any water marks can be removed using the above care advice.
Installation Preparation:
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for completeness and transport damage prior to installation.
Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any remaining
solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause damage to the workings of the mixertap,
reduce flow rates and invalidate the warranty.
We recommend installing isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an accessible position. This will help to ease any future
required maintenance to the product.
Shut off the water heating system and ensure that the mains stopcock is closed. Ensure both the hot and cold water supplies are isolated
before commencing installation. If replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed pipes using wire wool, the tap hole
areas should be free from dirt and sealant. You should ensure that the product will both fit into the depth of the mounting surface available
and reach the required outlet positions before installation. Loosely position the tap to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is
required, if this is the case do this now.

Installation:
1. Screw the fixing stud E) into the base of the tap A).
2. Screw the hot and cold tail pipes D & C) into the base of the tap body A), note: the hot water should be connected to the left hand
side of the tap when viewed from the front.
3. Place the upper seal B) over tail pipes D & C) and into the base of the tap body A). note seal B) may require deflecting before
positioning into the tap body A)
4. Place the mixertap A) onto the sink or worktop and pass the tail pipes D & C) and fixing stud E) through the taphole. With the tap
in place check that the tail pipes D & C) meet the hot and cold water feeds. If further adjustment to the plumbing is required do this
now.
5. Pass the lower gasket F) and then metal horseshoe G) over the fixing stud E) and around tail pipes D & C).
6. Fasten the fixing nut H) securely onto the fixing stud E) fixing the tap A) into its correct location centred over the taphole.
7. Connect the hot & cold water tail pipes D & C) to the water supplies using ½” BSP x 15mm compression fittings or similar. Note
the tail pipes D & C) can be ‘doglegged’ to allow more space to attach fittings.

After installation:
Once you have visually checked the installation of the new
tap and all connections, ensure that all other fittings are
closed except the new tap which should be left open.
Turn on your water heating system and ensure that your
mains stopcock is open. Reconnect both the hot and cold
water supplies to this fitting.
Check the function of flow and function of hot, cold and
mixed water.
Turn off the tap and check carefully for any leaks around all
connections on the fitting and adjoining plumbing.
If possible return to the installation after a longer period to
double check for slower leaks. If pressure testing
equipment is available check the installation to the
maximum recommended pressure.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during
installation as instructed then place a bag over the product
to protect the tap until it is ready for use.
The installation should be periodically checked for damage,
if the property is left unattended for a prolonged period we
recommend isolating water supplies.
